Google’s split-screen keyboard has arrived on the Galaxy Z Fold 3, joining Samsung’s own effort that comes as the default option. Is there any difference between the two, and how does Gboard’s split-screen mode compare to the standard Samsung version that comes with the phone? While a new keyboard mode doesn’t sound like a big deal on paper, going hands-on with Gboard’s split-screen mode proves that it most definitely is. A quick Gboard refresher You’re probably familiar with Google Gboard already. Not only is it the…

If you visited arcades in the late ‘80s or early ‘90s, you surely remember the golden age of beat-em-up games. Cabinets like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons, X-Men and more followed a fairly simple formula: take a popular franchise and have its characters cut through swaths of bad guys, throw in some environmental challenges to keep the levels from getting too repetitive, and top it off with a big boss battle at the end.

ASUS’ Republic of Gamers (ROG) has been introducing a variety of new and powerful gaming laptops in the country. The Zephyrus G series is my recommendation for users who are on a budget.

Few books have such a damply pungent sense of place as Tom Cox’s intriguing first novel. Its setting is the fictional village of Underhill and the moorland that surrounds it, and Cox heralds his time “living and walking” on Dartmoor as inspiration. Fittingly, Villager gives us a landscape of wonder, the peaty soil thick with history while folk tales and gossip fill its contours with life.Sign up to our Inside Saturday newsletter for an exclusive behind the scenes look at the making of the magazine’s biggest features, as…

When Mars helicopter Ingenuity was packed off on a one-way trip to the red planet, its engineers had a plan for five flights.That didn't mean more flights were not on the cards; in fact, it's normal for NASA's spacecraft mission parameters to be set conservatively. But late last year, NASA extended the mission indefinitely, and the little helicopter that could has now blown past its initial objectives: It completed a milestone 25 flights in the thin, tenuous Martian atmosphere.  Actually, it has completed 28 flights at…

Realme is a relatively young smartphone brand, having been formed in 2018, and it’s part of the same family as Oppo, Vivo, and OnePlus. Andy…

Brett Morgen’s Moonage Daydream is an 140-minute shapeshifting epiphany-slash-freakout leading to the revelation that, yes, we’re lovers of David Bowie and that is that. It’s a glorious celebratory montage of archive material, live performance footage, Bowie’s own experimental video art and paintings, movie and stage work and interviews with various normcore TV personalities with whom Bowie is unfailingly polite, open and charming. (There is the inevitable Dick Cavett – who deserves a documentary of his own – also Russell…

If you’ve ever built your own gaming PC, you know that tinkering with the hardware is half the fun. But increasingly, much of the battle for performance and high frame rates has been happening on the software side of things. DLSS, RT, FSR, and dozens of other acronyms all await you behind your game’s innocent settings menu. Throw in the increasing trend that highly anticipated titles like Elden Ring ship with massive technical issues, and you’ve got a bit of a mess. And that’s what ReSpec is all about: Breaking down…
